A while back VWandDodge posted a link to a Mustang Forum site about some idiot who, at the advice from his friend ran WATER from a hose into the crankcase with the motor running to clean it out because the oil was dirty.

I wonder.....

Within the first 2 weeks of owning it the clutch blew. A week after i got it back from the clutch being replaced the motor blew. Dealer gave me 2 options. #1 the dealer buys a stock 4.6 and replaces the blown motor. Regular old 4.6 not the cobra motor. # 2 they give me another vehicle of my choice for the same value. Took number 2 and got the truck I'm in now. A month later the car was for sale at the lot again with a fresh new 4.6 cobra motor.

Haha, nice backup vehicle!

I've got something similar - an electric bike. It looks almost like normal bike so when I race by someone peddling furiously up hill with minimal effort I get some strange looks. I'll have to get some pics so I can post later.

Fox bodies were fast cars, they weighed hardly anything and can be modded to hell and back.

I had a couple Fox bodies over the years, and also a modular '98GT. All where very quick cars. Loved the aftermarket available for the Fox bodies.
